WELCOME TO Coral Gables

Upscale European charm, complete with miles of canals and waterways — Coral Gables was founded in the 1920s to attract elite Northerners to South Florida. Modeled after turn-of-the-century Venice and Granada and designed with old-world bravado, it offers manicured landscapes, private golf clubs, and stunning Mediterranean architecture.

What to expect

An idyllic atmosphere influenced by early 20th century Spanish architecture and gorgeous native plants.

Coral Gables is known for its unique atmosphere—the street signs are made of carved limestone, the streets are named after Spanish cities, and it features beautiful fountains and sculptures in its public spaces. It’s home to regional attractions such as the Biltmore Hotel and Venetian Pool, as well as the University of Miami. Located in central Miami, it features two Metrorail stops within its borders.

ThE Lifestyle

Upscale dining and shopping options, easy access to award-winning theater, art-house cinema, museums, and world-class golf and tennis.

Along historic Miracle Mile, the main downtown thoroughfare, you’ll find boutiques, wine shops, and cafes. Blocks away on Ponce de Leon Boulevard and Giralda Avenue are some of Miami’s most critically-acclaimed restaurants and premium shopping can be found just down the road at the Village of Merrick Park. The downtown area is a busy financial hub, and many international corporations are headquartered there.

Home to the historic Biltmore Hotel, Coral Gables is famous for its shops and cafes along Miracle Mile as well as outdoor wonders such as the Venetian Pool, a coral rock quarry and natural aquifer for swimming, and Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden, an 83-acre wonderland of tropical plants and trees near Biscayne Bay.

The pedestrian-only Giralda Plaza promenade is an inviting area for a leisurely stroll. Here, you’ll find a variety of local boutiques, restaurants and art galleries. Coral Gables offers a dynamic cultural scene anchored by longstanding institutions such as Actors' Playhouse at Miracle Theatre, which stages Broadway-caliber shows and local productions in an intimate setting, and GableStage at The Biltmore, which presents cutting-edge plays. The Coral Gables Museum focuses on architecture, design and urban planning, and hosts popular community events.

The Market

Luxe downtown condos, single-family homes, and waterfront mansions can all be found here.

The area is extremely diverse and functions as an independent city, complete with its own government and police force. Mega-mansions and celebrity homes fill the waterfront area, while more accessible options populate the suburban areas at the city’s center. Alternatively, a growing community of contemporary high-rises offer a distinctly urban spin on the breezy Coral Gables lifestyle.
